Beats diddybeats Pro Reviews

It's hard to find a fault with the Diddybeats. Although designed with hip-hop in mind, we tested them across a wide range of musical genres and every-time they came up trumps. Not only is the bass ridiculously impressive on some seriously heavy old school rap music, the balance between bass and treble on hybrid musical varieties (think Ice T's Body Count thrash metal project) is absolutely spot on. And they even perform well when playing back music that Diddy and Dre (and whoever actually did design them) probably didn't have in mind, such as folk or country music (Pocket-lint borrowed someone else's iPod to test this - obviously). And they look ultra-cool too - yes, they're small and there's obviously not a great deal of room for the designers to work with, but if there was such a thing as blingy in-ear earphones than the Diddybeats are just that.

Though a little heavy and slightly cumbersome, the DiddyBeats look and sound fantastic with sound on par with their more expensive cousins.

Following in the footsteps of Dr. Dre, Sean 'Diddy' Combs gets his own Monster-branded pair of earphones—they deliver good sound quality and deep bass response, but cost too much.
